The hapd->sta_authorized_cb() is used only by wpa_supplicant when using
that shared functionality from hostapd to control AP mode operations.
For the type of used you describe here, it might make most sense to
extend the src/drivers/driver_*.c wrapper that you use to implement the
sta_set_flags() callback. It will be called to either add or remove the
WPA_STA_AUTHORIZED flag based on EAPOL port authorization state changes.
